Spring Break
We have all seen the 70-foot-tall glass pyramid take shape on our campus over the past few dozen months. Major construction of the Edmund D. Bossone Research Enterprise Center has ended and touch-up work was completed to a degree that allowed the dedication of the structure to occur, just after the end of National Engineer's Week.
Of all the countries in the world, every single one of them suffers embarrassing periods of their history. The United States indoctrinated slavery as the de jour institution of the late 18th century and much of the 19th century. Much blood was spilled in order to right that wrong, but we made good on our promise of freedom for all 140 years ago.
William Mulgrew's commentary two issues ago ("An engrossing tale of two congressional districts," The Triangle, Feb. 25, 2005, p. 13) demonstrates such a high degree of ignorance regarding the city of San Francisco, I feel it necessary to address Mr. Mulgrew and the students of Drexel University to correct possible misconceptions.

(Summary from Roper v. Simmons) The Court's decision today establishes a categorical rule forbidding the execution of any offender for any crime committed before his 18th birthday, no matter how deliberate, wanton, or cruel the offense. Neither the objective evidence of contemporary societal values, nor the Court's moral proportionality analysis, nor the two in tandem suffice to justify this ruling.
Last week, my colleagues and I in the Drexel Republicans drew fire for trying to get students to realize how very important politicians need to reform social security in a bipartisan fashion or else it would collapse. Sadly, the Democrats are not giving any indication that they'll help.
In response to Brad Levinson's article entitled "Drexel Republican Support Pathetic at Santorum Visit," I would like to personally commend Mr. Levinson and the Drexel Democrats on their babbling tirades. Mr. Levinson's article, which referred to personal opinions on FreeRepublic.
